This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

PushAlert operates in the technology sector providing SaaS solutions for web push notifications and onsite messaging. Their business model focuses on subscription and usage-based revenue streams targeting website owners and marketers seeking to increase user engagement and revenue. The company demonstrates strong market presence with a large customer base and partnerships with recognized service providers like Drift and Cookiebot. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a medium-sized enterprise profile. The absence of direct contact information may indicate a focus on digital self-service and automated support channels. The company leverages multiple marketing and analytics tools to optimize user acquisition and retention. Strategic growth opportunities include expanding compliance transparency and enhancing direct customer communication channels.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms that comply with GDPR. Use of third-party tools like Cookiebot and Google Tag Manager is well integrated to manage privacy and analytics. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly present and should be implemented to harden the site against common web attacks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing formal security documentation and enhancing HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Enhance contact information availability to improve business credibility and customer trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, FontAwesome Pro for icons, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and compliance. Hosting is likely via Google Cloud DNS, providing robust infrastructure. The site demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization with fast loading times and accessible design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured cookie consent. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Technical risks are minimal but could be mitigated further by adding missing security headers and formalizing security policies. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable, performant, and compliant web presence.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
